It's funny because there are still many pepple who think doublewides=jesus. Last weekend I've seen a kid on a steel hardtail with 24'' doublewides and 3.0 gazzas. What made me laugh the most was that his bike behaved exactly like a fatbike.We already tried this many years ago and have settled down to a combination of width/strength/weight/tire-profile.
Who here wants doublewides? Carbon doublewides? Didn't think so
Not with that bike.A strava t-shirt.
It's the same people. They will just add a fatbike category or some other crazy functionality. Someone needs to make a fatbike with an integrated strava sensor.Not with that bike.
Unless it's a 'participation' shirt.

When the new "Gazzi Boostduro" tires come out, your narrow ass 25mm rims will be, as Kranked said, unrideable...(PS - if they're 26" rims and still in good shape, ping me )when are we getting "wide rims"-specific tire designs? Or have I missed that dark, nerdy corner of MTBR?
Actually, a serious question, since I'll need to know what tires to avoid for my normal rims.

wouldn't it be the compromise x compromise wheelsize? Height AND width!Is that a 27.5+? The compromise compromise wheelsize?
I think after reading that was the first time I didn't feel bitter when I saw there was no 26" option. It seems like everyting that's being made nowadays I don't care about.... bigger wheels, wider rims, more gears, optislick cables... nothing's really got me excited. it's all meh from here. Does that mean I'm old?Easton joins to the party... http://www.pinkbike.com/news/easton-arc-rim-first-look.html
Those look lovely. I recently got some Roval Fattie alu wheels, and really like the wider profile it gives the Butchers on them.Easton joins to the party... http://www.pinkbike.com/news/easton-arc-rim-first-look.html
